The Civil War tale of Loreta Janeta Velazquez -- aka Lt. Harry T. Buford -- is a different kind of soldier's story.

She's not a secret. Most people cannot tell if her story is that of a hero or from a great imagination.

She says she fought at Bull Run, Balls Bluff, Fort Donelson and Shiloh and was in a Louisiana infantry unit. Unless she was a member of several different units in 3 separate armies over a perod of 10 monts, that did not happen. There is noone by either of her full names in the data base for Louisiana or CS soldiers. Oops...so much for credibility.

"..Everything we know about Velazquez comes from her memoirs, 'The Woman in Battle: A Narrative of the Exploits, Adventures and travels of Madame Loreta Janeta Velazquez, Otherwise Known as Lieutenant Harry T Buford, Confederate States Army. How much of it is true is unknown. Various historians have doubted its veracity for lack of any concrete evidence...."

It has long been speculated that this woman either embellished her story alot or completely made it up to sell a book.

When was it written? During the Reconstruction and before Reconciliation, there was a fear of retaliation and it sometimes the writer changed the participant's name to disguise their identity.
